Helen and I are starting another motorcycle adventure on August 24, 2017. In 2008 we did a 3,000 circuit from France to Germany, Sweden, Denmark, England and back to France. In 2014 we did a 5 day circuit in Provence starting and ending in Nice (see title photo). This time the goal is to visit remnants left by my Viking ancestors in L'Anse Aux Meadows on the Northern tip of Newfoundland.

Eliot, Maine mile 2563 lat 43degN 09' long 70degW 47'

We left Yarmouth Nova Scotia at 8 o'clock this morning aboard the Cat. This is a fast ferry between Yarmouth and Portland, Maine. These shots of us getting ready to load in Yarmouth:

This is how Helen passed the time on the trip:

The ride went well and we were happy to see the sites of Portland Harbor come into view about 6 1/2 hours later. These shots of us getting ready to get off the Cat and drive out into the Maine drizzle:

We had a slightly damp 50 mile ride back to our home in Eliot. It was great to see the farm. Our motorcycle adventure to Newfoundland is now complete!
